Florida’s basketball team gave Gator fans something to be proud of Wednesday night: a Quadrant 1 win.
Yay.
That really wasn’t what this was about. Florida beat the Kentucky Wildcats in Rupp Arena, which is all you really need to know.
Three Gators scored in the 20s and Florida ran its overtime record to 3-0 with a 94-91 win.
UF is now 15-6, 5-3 in the SEC. Kentucky had at least 13 points from four different players (including 24 from Reed Sheppard, who played all 45 minutes), but it wasn’t enough against the gritty Gators.
Five takeaways from an important win for head coach Todd Golden and his gang of Gators.
